TPW TV -- FISHING HALL OF FAME: Meet an inductee to the 
Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame whose job and relaxation 
revolve around the sport ... ahead on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas (Feb. 22)

This month on the Texas Parks and Wildlife PBS television 
series, meet an inductee into the 2012 Freshwater Fishing 
Hall of Fame, who - says series producer, Don Cash - 
would go fishing even if it weren't his job. 

60 -- On the Parks and Wildlife television show, we're going to 
feature inductees into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame 
for 2012.And one of them is a guy named Tommy Martin whose 
been fishing professionally for over 40 years. Tommy won a 
tournament way back when; one of those Bass Masters, way back 
in the days of black and white film. And he talked about how 
much money he made then, and the difference in how much they 
make now. What I thought was kind of interesting about Tommy 
is despite the fact he's on the water 200-250 days a year, either 
fishing tournaments of guiding, in his spare time, he still likes to 
go fishing. So, right now there are 24 inductees in the Texas 
Freshwater Hall of Fame, which is located in Athens, at the Texas 
Freshwater Fisheries center. Some of the guys are professional 
fishermen. Some of them are boat builders. Some of them are 
guys that like to fish and maybe decided to help kids learn. But 
everybody in the hall of fame obviously has a love for fishing. And 
Texas is a great place to have that love.

Thanks, Don.
